SEE Program...building a bridge between today's goals and tomorrow's reality!

SEE what it's all about

The Scholastic Enhancement Program, or SEE, is a 2 week summer program for incoming, underrepresented soon to be college freshmen (known as SEE Scholars) that takes place on the campus of Truman State University. SEE Scholars accomplish many things that will benefit their college career. During the 2 week session, Scholars will take a 1-credit hour course that counts towards their Truman degree. During the fall semester, SEE Scholars will be enrolled in a private Writing As Critical Thinking 3-credit hour course (which is required of all Truman students), INDV 115: Strategies for Success 1-credit hour course (which consists of a series of workshops and activities), College Algebra (depending on their math proficiency), and one major related course. SEE Scholars will also have a common hour built into their schedule (3 times per week) for meetings, academic advising, and other supplemental activities. In addition to the academic component, scholars are introduced to University life, resources, and support systems in ways that will assist them in navigating the University system. During the 2 week summer session, Scholars will have twenty-four hour support and guidance from SEE Student Program Counselors and Coordinators in an effort to help them in shaping their university experiences.

"As a first generation college student, I did not realize the importance of academic preparations. The Scholastic Enhancement Experience Program (SEE) at Truman State University marked the beginning of my academic career. My success in college and medicine is in large part secondary to the foundation that was built during the SEE program."
